Mini-bert Joins the pack


I brought Miss Minnie home on a Thursday to see how she would do.  The plan was to take her back to Paradise on Friday so she could see the vet.  She was still healing from having a tumor removed from her spleen.

On Friday, I got a call from Paradise telling me that Minnie would have to stay the weekend with the vet.  She had been eating pea gravel and it had blocked her stomach from emptying!  The tip off to the vet that she had a blockage was when she barfed rancid, stinking, foul vomit all over the exam table.  After a weekend on laxatives, she passed the rocks in her poo, was fine and ready to come home with me.  We filled out the paperwork and she became a Bert-dog.

We rode home in the convertible and soon as I took off her leash, Mini-bert ran straight to the Lazyboy, jumped up and plopped herself down.  She was home!
